To be fair, in this situation specifically, I was under the impression that the Ohio congressmen constantly filibustered this issue over and over for the last 25 years or so, thus preventing congress from doing anything on it. So Obama was like, "No worries America, fuck Ohio, I got this"
I don't care as much about this, I mean McKinley never even went to Alaska. He seems like he had nothing to do with this other than it being named after him as a PR stunt when he was running for election, so why not change it back to its original name.
HOWEVER, by that logic, all the MLK Blvds should be renamed.
